Priced to allow a buyer to realize its potential, this solid 1962 home in a handy location close to an elementary school, has a level back yard, front porch, oak floors except in the kitchen and bath, two large bedrooms, several built-ins including a bookcase, and good light. Sold “AS IS” as part of an estate, it has been neglected for several years. The electricity has been shut off. The central HVAC appears to be in fair condition but is currently not in operation. The water to the house was turned off a few years ago when a water-pipe joint burst one winter in the ceiling of the under-house garage (see photo 28), but damage was minimal because the basement is unfinished. There are several items remaining that transfer with the house, including a washer and dryer, some furniture, dishes, a cabinet-style Singer Sewing Machine, a 1970’s Steinway 41” spinet piano in tunable shape. The seller has removed as many things as possible, but the buyer will be responsible for removing or using all remaining items.
